What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
This is a school where pupils are polite and caring towards others. Pupils like coming to school because adults help them to learn and they have kind friends to play with. Pupils are well behaved in lessons and during social times. Most pupils focus well and produce work of a good quality. Staff form positive relationships with pupils. Pupils are confident that if they have a worry, staff will listen and help them. This means pupils feel happy and are safe. The school provides opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility. For example, older pupils who are digital leaders led an assembly on cyber-bullying. Pupils are taught to look after others. Pupils in Year 6 made cards and biscuits for members of the community attending a night shelter. Pupils have opportunities to visit different places of worship and to learn and celebrate events from different cultures. These opportunities help pupils to understand and respect people with different customs and beliefs. Leaders provide a range of clubs, including gymnastics, yoga and robotics club. Pupils speak enthusiastically about learning the recorder, cello and violin. These activities help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, adults do not explain concepts clearly, and sometimes pupils' misconceptions are not picked up quickly and addressed. This means that some pupils develop gaps in their learning and cannot recall key knowledge. The school needs to ensure that pupils' understanding is regularly checked, and that teaching consistently helps pupils to learn, remember and use knowledge securely.
